    First of all, thanks a lot for the pics. He keeps on looking awesome!

    Can his waist rotate 180 degrees, or would it be hindered by his kibble?
    I want to swap his lower legs and thigh-guards and to keep him transformable he has to be able to rotate at the waist.

    Also, how much did it cost in the UK?

    I'm looking forward to this figure too, but I think I will keep him in alt mode. The robot mode does not look accurate at all.. The leg area in robot mode especially looks really wrong!!!!

    I am so looking forward to getting this thing...Man that is cool. The human figures is a lot smaller then I'd thought they'd be.

    It's a good thing I'm going back to work soon...I'ma need the money.

    So put a post in the junkion forum for the figure, a large number of people have bought it and don't want Sam.

    Having got mine on wednesday I can highly recomend this toy, he is much more durable then the deluxe and not at all finicky. It holds poses much better and just looks really good on it's own. Almost like a good coffee table ornament ;) 

    QFT, he got a bit shafted first time round both on and off the screen, he defintely deserves a better figure.

    Are the seats removable from the arms at all? (I really don't care if Sam is no longer able to sit inside, so long as bot mode looks better)

    possibly, if you remove some screws and take the lower arms apart. But I don't want to do that. The seats seem to be attached with a swivel joint and can rotate to face backward or forward while on the arms.

    You can pose it and arrange the arms so the seats aren't too distracting. They aren't really any worse than the arm kibble on deluxe Bumblebee.

    So is it possible to swap the legs and still have the figure transform? It seems like it would be because of the waist articulation but can it be confirmed?

    Very cool! I think he's the only toy to feature both the mask and uncovered face modes, nice. The scale for both figs works with Leader Prime quite well doesn't it! I might pick this toy up, but I already have Deluxe BB.

    Indeed it is the first to have a proper battle mask though the rerelease of the so called "Ultimate" Bumblebee will also have such a feature.

    I don't know about the scale comparison with Leader Prime as I don't own Prime,I would still like to see a shot of them side by side though to get a rough idea of how big a Human Alliance Prime would be.

    I have a strange question; would somebody be willing to post a comparison pic of them (BB and Sam) next to a Voyager Optimus figure?
